Eni announced first oil on 8 December from the West Hub Development Project in Block 15/06. The field is producing 45,000 b/d through the N’Goma floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, and will increase production to 100,000 b/d in the coming months. The start-up of the East Hub Development, expected in 2017, will raise overall production from Block 15/06 to 200,000 b/d. Eni was awarded the block in a licensing round in 2006, and has drilled 24 exploration and appraisal wells, discovering over 3bn barrels of oil in place and 850m barrels of recoverable reserves.
